Post by: Mohawk13 on February 21, 2014, 03:15:15 pm

....Seems Obsidian is starting to follow Me Home....I have developed quite a fondness for this material...I did not make these items, but they are starting to be the crux of My collecting....Do I need help?? Blade and bottom left point courtesy of Trapper Rob, Hafted point and two top left points courtesy of Stringstretcher, Balance of points courtesy of Osage Outlaw...Thanks guys...These will accompany me to Oregon for My fall elk hunt....Need a few more for a complete dozen,,,Working on it....LOL

You're only going to have a problem when you start knapping your own points and blades! That's when the addiction is official  ;D

I'd love to knapp My own. Problem being that early onset Rheumatoid arthritis has taken alot of dexterity away from My hands...I have about 10 lbs of great flint and am not able to do a thing with it. I am trying some different things to help, and maybe by spring the swelling will go down in My hands...One can only hope....Until then ????
